Step-by-step explanation:

let us keep the price of pants as <em>x</em>

and price of necklace as <em>y</em>

Simultaneous equations comes as follows:

<em>4x</em><em> </em><em>+</em><em> </em><em>3y</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em>1</em><em>6</em><em> </em>for Alexis

<em>7x</em><em> </em><em>+</em><em> </em><em>2y</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>3</em><em>0</em><em>0</em><em> </em><em>for</em><em> </em><em>Jess</em>

<em>we'll</em><em> </em><em>make</em><em> </em><em>either</em><em> </em><em>x</em><em> </em><em>or</em><em> </em><em>y</em><em> </em><em>equal</em><em> </em>

<em>here</em><em> </em><em>let's</em><em> </em><em>make</em><em> </em><em>y</em><em> </em><em>equal</em><em> </em>

<em>2</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em> </em><em>4x</em><em> </em><em>+</em><em> </em><em>3y</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em>1</em><em>6</em><em>)</em>

<em>3</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em> </em><em>7x</em><em> </em><em>+</em><em> </em><em>2y</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>3</em><em>0</em><em>0</em><em>)</em>

<em>8x</em><em> </em><em>+</em><em> </em><em>6y</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>4</em><em>3</em><em>2</em>

<em>21x</em><em> </em><em>+</em><em> </em><em>6y</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>9</em><em>0</em><em>0</em>

<em>21x</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>8x</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>9</em><em>0</em><em>0</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>4</em><em>3</em><em>2</em>

<em>13x</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>4</em><em>6</em><em>8</em>

<em>x</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>$</em><em>3</em><em>6</em>

<em>so</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em> </em><em>pant</em><em> </em><em>costs</em><em> </em><em>$</em><em>3</em><em>6</em>

<em>And</em><em> </em>

<em>3y</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>7</em><em>2</em>

<em>y</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>$</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em>4</em>

<em>so</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em> </em><em>necklace</em><em> </em><em>costs</em><em> </em><em>$</em><em>3</em><em>6</em>

How many miles are equivalent to 3.1 kilometers? 1 kilometer is about 0.62 mile
Anton [14]

Answer:

1.922 miles is equivalent to 3.1 kilometers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

1 km = 0.62 miles.

3.1 km = ? miles

Now, in order to find the number of miles equivalent to 3.1 km, we use unitary method with the help of the conversion factor.

From the conversion factor, we can conclude that kilometer is a smaller unit compared to that of mile.

So, conversion factor = \frac{0.62\ miles}{1\ km}

The formula to transform 'n' kilometers to miles is given as:

=Conversion\ factor\times n

Therefore, 3.1 km = \frac{0.62\ miles}{1\ km}\times 3.1\ km

3.1 km = 1.922 miles

Therefore, 1.922 miles is equivalent to 3.1 kilometers.
